Coffee in Boston: Wired Puppy

Wired Puppy originated in Providence (379 Commercial St.) but opened a second location at 250 Newbury St. in 2011. It is close to the Prudential Center T stop and is open from 6:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. on weekdays and 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. on weekends.

Wired Puppy offered a variety of hot, cold and frozen coffee and espresso beverages as well as brewed tea and tea lattes. The café even sells dog treats and collars for its customers’ furry friends.

Tucked away below street level, the café has a cozy vibe and seats about 15 customers.

“I often come here to study. It is busy, but never too loud, so I can get work done,” said Rachel Borne, a student at Suffolk University, who was trying the café’s signature lavender latte for the first time.

The café served Revelator Coffee Company coffee, a coffee roasting company based in Alabama. Committed to sustainable and eco-friendly business and food practices, all of its products are certified organic, direct trade, and shade grown.

Customers at Wired Puppy can try a wide variety of Revelator’s coffees at the Single Cup Brew Bar, which offers patrons their choice of coffee as well as brewing method, including pour over, siphon, aeropress, chemex, or French press.

While the café’s offerings of baked goods are limited, they are made fresh in the café’s kitchen each day.
